Eid's Third Day Crowds Parks and Restaurants Across Pakistan

Overview

• Families in Islamabad, Rawalpindi and Karachi shifted from home visits to leisure on Monday, the third day of Eidul Fitr, crowding parks and breakfast spots.
• Ayub National Park, run by the Army Heritage Foundation, drew large queues for roller coasters, the swinging Discovery ride, jumping castles and pedal boats, as children spent Eidi on tickets and treats.
• Karachi’s eateries reported an unusual breakfast rush, with halwa puri and lassi in high demand and managers adding seating to keep lines moving.
• Authorities handled a growing post-Eid return to the federal capital, with heavier flows at bus terminals, major entry roads and Islamabad International Airport.
• The day capped a familiar Eid rhythm in Pakistan that reserves day one for close family, day two for extended relatives, and day three for outings.
